单选题
Man: I hear you have been working part-time. Woman: Yeah, I must stand on my own feet. My parents are retired and their health is declining. Question: What does the woman mean?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 此题考查习惯用语和对会话含义的理解。男士听说女士一直在做兼职，女士认为她得自食其力了，因为父母已经退休，身体衰老，言外之意是不能再依靠他们养活了。stand on one’s own feet意为“自力更生，自食其力”，也有“身体恢复，站立起来”的意思，但该会话是用其比喻含义，所以B项为正确答案。
